I'm in Ottawa too and they sent something in the mail to me for time off purposes.

Ask your centre/surgeon and I'm sure you can get something from them.

TWH gave me the letter in the hospital when I was discharged. They would not do it until I had actually had the surgery.

my surgeon provided the note and it simply stated time off work for surgery & recovery time and noted that when return to work should be light duties with no heavy lifting for 3-4 weeks after, had no specifics of what the surgery type was.

I work a desk job, but just remember even if you perform clerical functions there are heavy file boxes etc.

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss.

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!. Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
